Last night was the first Brisbane Emerging Arts Festival at White Canvas Gallery, Fortitude Valley. It was a great night with a selection of Brisbane's finest emerging artists in sculpture, photography, painting, illustration, video, performance art and live music. For this festival I filled a room with an installation piece, a combination of some of my paintings, a mural, plants and candles. In doing so I explored the festival's theme of 'interior and exterior' in both a physical and spiritual sense. Thanks to everyone who came along, the curators Travis and Lionel and of course my brother Dave who was my assistant for the two long days I spent installing this artwork!
